Owned an AutoGyro Calidus and regularly flew the lake district in the UK. The flying club took week long trips out to Scotland every year, and we would be 10 gyros strong, like some mad sky biker gang! Best days of my life! I had to sell my baby in 2017, due to financial strain.. Also, I passed my general flying test on the day the Icelandic volcano erupted and grounded all commercial aviation, but not us crazy gyronauts!

We saw you! We saw you take off like a rocket too. Edit: We are in this video underneath the tail of the B-25.

Looks fun 😂

Juan de la Cierva invented this...

Living the dream!!!

I hope you enjoyed your time in our little city and we cant wait to have you back❤

Amazing video. Is there someplace in Lexington SC where I can learn to fly a gyroplane? I have no air-time unfortunately . . .

Really nice video, I enjoyed it. I wish there had been some captions on this one.

What did you do to get 115 out of your 912 ULS? I'm looking for a reliable mod for mine.

This looks like good fun, I think I will do my licence

Nice flight and great vacation.

Gorgeous!

Absolutely gorgeous day! Also, great music.

Is this a dumb question…Do you need to file a flight plan and/or talk with air traffic control along the way? I hope my naivety isn’t too obvious!

I am watching from somalia i like apilot

VFR over the top? Gutsy move, Mav.

Nice clouds 😊

Outstanding views of Charleston Ben. One of your best yet

What, you wouldnt get me up in that, I'm not brave enough, wonderful men in their flying machine !

One day I will learn to fly gyros, don't have anyone near me that teaches

Amazing video! Best aerial tour of the Charleston area I’ve ever seen. I would like to have seen text labels identifying some of the special places you went past.

A perfect music 🎶 🎵 👌 for the flight!!!❤

Nice video, I sure miss flying my Gyro. But good seeing others enjoying it.

Only faux pas , its not the Confederate Air Force anymore - they went political correct years ago to Commemorative Air Force, which IMO, changed the entire image of the group and lossed membership.

Crowders mountain . Good views.

Hi Ben. Very nice video where you use the capabilities of the 360 well. I have some X3 footage from last year and your work makes me want to do another, better video of my footage. I also fly a MTO Sport (converted MT-03) with the 914 115 HP engine. It's nice you have the integrated coolers with your 100 HP 912 uls. Ususlly the 912 has a stupid cooler right in front of the propeller. This is much better.

Hi Ben, I can't believe how much the PC Airport has grown and the changes made since I was there back in 1984-85. I was the weekend manager. I lived in Easley at the time and worked for the Greenville Hospital System as well as in law enforcement. I am now in Ohio. I'm a commissioner for the Huron County Airport (5A1) located just outside of Norwalk, OH. I fly an AR-1 Gyro. I've been an aircraft private pilot since 1978 but took up the Gyro last year. Would love to fly down to visit sometime. I still have a couple of friends that live in the Easley area. Thanks for the video. Brought back many memories. Great job! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Fly safe!

Howdy from Greenville County, Sc. You boys in Pickens County know how to have fun! My 13 year old sons dream is to become a pilot.

Amazing video.. how did u film this?? good music.. well presented .. you deserve an award for this.. I come from Bunbury, a town on the West Coast of Australia.. i used to do a lot of Ultrlight flying.. its an almost identical airport.. brings back memorys

Great video, but not a fan of holding the selfie stick out in the breeze!

The waving…😅

Love the ride through the edge of the clouds!

One of your best videos ever Ben!

Ice camera work in the museum area!

Nice ,❤❤❤ from pakistan

What an enviable dreamful height ❤❤❤

Nice flight Ben, not far from Shelby. I need to fly out to the peach sometime from Shelby.

Great job! I'm almost at the stage to solo mine. I've got an AR-1, Corvette Yellow, with a Rotax 912ULS. Based at 88D, Hinde Airport in Huron, OH. Home of EAA Chapter 50. I hope to fly down to the Charlotte area this coming summer. Maybe I'll head down your way for a visit! Have a Happy New Year!

Sure enjoyed your flight and camera work Ben. It was fascinating to see from the air Hogback, Tryon Peak, and White Oak mountain that I am so familiar with from the ground. Just 3 weeks ago I hiked 8 miles RT on Hogback Mountain Road from near Hoghead Mountain to Hogback. Many Thursdays after being at the St. Luke's infusion center, I drive up Skyuka Mountain Road on to White Oak Mountain Road and back down, hiking at several trails along the way where I photograph butterflies and search for rare Appalachian species of butterflies.

Do t hit a cow!

Very cool video Ben!

As a long island, NY resident. I find the name of the airpark misleading. What is the history behind naming it that way?

Nice!!! love that 360 cam footage too! Great to see the arrival at SC00 Saturday!

Высокие обороты двигателя

Excellent first solo flight! Mine, also on a white MTO classic, was a bit rougher... Our cockpit layout is the same except for the Ritchie compass. I looked for it online but had no luck. Please share a link to it

Sure was a beautiful day!!

Nice to see the new Gyro up and flying!

I love it, great video and it looks like you are enjoying your MTO! Thanks for sharing this video with us Ben

It’s as if I was there myself. Very nice! I’m amazed you didn’t drop it in the water 😂
